Oye Como Handbags? Carlos Santana Branches Out
Before you say anything, yes, I realize "oye como handbangs" is nonsensical. But Carlos Santana having a line of handbags and women's shoes doesn't really make that much sense either.
Oh yes, the guitar legend is hocking purses and shoes on QVC.
I know. It makes me sad too.
But it gets worse.
I am no fashionista. In fact, I'm not even sure that is how one would spell fashionista, but I do have eyes and this crap has no alibi. It is UGLY.
Look at these flats.
*shudders*
And this... thing.
No disrespect to Mr. Santana. Abraxas and Supernatural have earned him his lifetime pass, but DUDE! QVC? You are a golden god! This is beneath you, sir.
So for now I am going to choose to block this memory so that I can still appreciate Santana's music.
And for the rest of you, just keep in mind that no one should take any fashion guidance from a man who opted to wear this shirt in public.

Wow. Just wow. I would totally buy those shoes and that, uhh, purse(?), TO BURN THEM.

Two words: Tax Bill.
Not like I know anything. But seriously, it's the only explanation.

But at least he's wearing a cool shirt doing it.
Oh, wait YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHIRT?!?
Now, if they made shoes like that I would totally buy them. Viva la raza!

I've seen his shoes at Macy's and thought they were, to a shoe, ugly. Admittedly, most of them are also absurdly high heels that I could never wear. I have to admit though that most of the purses and shoes I see in stores anymore I just don't find attractive. Does everything need a million buckles and zippers? There's more hardware on your average purse than my car. And I AM fond of fashion...just not so much bling, apparently. (I just said "bling." :))

Frankly, I stopped respecting Santana when he teamed up with Rob Thomas, who sounds like he's always trying to squeeze one out.
Now, for the shoes and handbags: Did he learn nothing from Charlie Sheen and his line of children's clothing?
It's not Oye. It's OY WTF?

I would totally rock the Virgen de Guadalupe shirt, but none of the other shlock. As my former sister in law put it: shoes for Mexican hookers. And now, handbags!

You know that Santana's decisions are all guided by his longtime guardian angel, Methatron... Seriously.

Perhaps the angel wanted some shoes & handbags.
